Domain broker sells Fiver.com for $70,000.
Fiverr.com — a site where people offer to do a bunch of different things for $5 each — may have just upgraded its domain name for 14,000 $5 bills.
The popular site has a cool idea but a bad domain name, Fiverr.com with two ‘r’s. But someone just bought Fiver.com with one ‘r’ through domain broker Sedo for $70,000.
The new owner’s information is protected by whois proxy and the domain name is just pulling up a Go Daddy landing page when you visit, so I can’t confirm that Fiverr.com bought the domain name. But who else would? A bold competitor?
Here are some other top sales at Sedo over the past week.

Fiver is also the name of TV chanel here in the UK owned by a company called Five who also own Five.tv
Jamie says
Adam hit the nail on the head. It was clearly purchased by a domainer… but as a typo of River.com!
LOL 🙂

Fiverr would pay that to protect his domain, I think is not much specially many people miss spell it.
